Incoming British number one Jack Draper is one win away from his first ATP Tour title after making the final of the Stuttgart Open.
The 22-year-old, who will replace Cameron Norrie as the country’s highest-ranked player on Monday, beat American Brandon Nakashima in straight sets in Saturday’s semi-final in Germany.
Draper followed up his quarter-final win over defending champion Frances Tiafoe with a 6-3 6-3 victory to reach his third tour-level final.
